Flash 5 = Strange Now
Just thought this was funny: when I first upgraded to MX a week or two ago, I kept fumbling. Things were different then flash 5 where they are loacted, how the timeline works, and on and on. Well today I sat down at a different system and used Flash 5 and cursed it the moment I fired it up. I really missed a lot of the MX layout and location features. Just goes to show MX is a great improvement. Thought Id share - happy FLASHING!
Peace

Strange Strange For Loop Problem
i have the following for loop within a private constructor in a class:
PHP Code:
// Place season choice buttons for (i = 1; i <= numSeasons; i++) { thisSeason = setSeasonVar["Season"+i]; var mcName:String = "MC_seasonChoice"+i; var depthToUse:Number = 1001+i; var seasonChoiceXPos:Number = 100 + (i*60); // Add season choice seasonNavHolder.attachMovie("MC_seasonChoice", mcName, depthToUse, {_x:seasonChoiceXPos, _y:67, txt_seasonChoice:thisSeason}); // Give season choice button actions seasonNavHolder[mcName].onPress = function():Void { trace(thisSeason); } }
everything works except the "trace(thisSeason)" line of the script. Here, it seems that the script is no longer in the for loop. Each onPress event traces the last value of the array.. the last value to be returned from the query and placed into the loadVars object...
is this a scope thing?

Strange Flash Bug In Ie 6
ok lets start
swf version: 6
browser: internet explorer 6
I got a swf actually its a game, the file size is only 6 kb. I am using it as a preloader. the problem is that it seams to run at 50% of the full speed. If i restart the game it runns at about 75% and the third time at 100 % the funny thing is that each time you restart the game the movie unloads and loads again just to make sure that variabls are reseted and they are reseted each time i have checked the values.
And its not a processor problem
The movie works fine in nn 7 and ie 5.5 havent checked it in opera
check it out ok the speed is kind of ****ed up because of this.

Flash Being Strange?
Hi, i am using flash mx.
I have a menu movieclip (news_mc) which when clicked on the top most menu button (instance = news_btn1) a submenu containing 2 clickable buttons (current_btn1 and archive_btn1) should slide out underneath news_btn1. This works fine. I have attached this movie clip to the stage using _root.attachmovie(news_mc, news_mc1, 1)
Now when i press the news button the submenu does appear correctly, but when i try to press the submenu buttons nothing happens. I have traced the animation and have found that even when i click the submenu buttons, it shows that i am still clicking the movie clip main menu (news_mc1) so it restarts the animation.
I have put all the actionscript on the stage instead of each specific button, is there anyway around the problem i am having?
Thankss

- on the first frame, insert the code : trace ( Stage.height);
i've got 300 !!!
( it's not really equal to the 400 px of my scene ! )

:: Strange Flash/MP3 Problems ::
I am using 'sound()' object to grab small MP3 files and play them in my movie, the MP3’s are converted from WAV files ( I am using ‘GoldWave’ batch conversion feature) . So far I had encountered a few weird problems and I would like to share these with other people on the board, maybe someone will have answers and solutions:
1. some MP3 files just wont play in the movie while other does. The sounds are being loaded into the movie, they are being activated but you can not hear them while you can hear others. You can hear the MP3 sounds if you browse to they’re actual library and double click them. my solution was to go back to the raw WAV and to reconvert them to MP3 files, then replace the old MP3’s with the new ones. For some reason that worked and the sounds are now playing.
2. some MP3 files will generate Smurfs like voices (running the sounds way to fast).
3. some MP3 files will play too slow Generating a Darth Veidar effect.
I was wondering if I am doing something wrong. all MP3 files look the same in they’re actual folder and play in the right speed, but when imported to the movie some sounds really bad.
Is there’s something I should know while I am converting WAV files into MP3 which will play in my movie ?
Thanks,
LeoBeer.

Strange Flash Problem
I have a simple problem, or so it seems.
I have a movie clip, that basically loads individual movie clips into level one. Fine - that works. HOWEVER, I have this code on the main movie clips frame 1:
ranNum = Math.round(Math.random()*(37-1))+1;
loadMovieNum("image"+ranNum+".swf", 1);
stop();
This will grab a random image, and will load it into the flash document. Everything works when testing it within flash, but once it's uploaded to the server and tested in the browser, the first image does now load. WHY IS THIS??

Flash MX Strange Behaviours
Hello...
I bought the Flash MX 2004, and I am surprise to see that the application has strange behaviours in comparaison with the old flash MX program I had before.
1- For example... the 'control Z' function, erase all the step I have made but don't care where am I, in the scene or a movieClip... (the other version (Flash MX) erase only the step you've made in the movie clip you are.. but not the changes in the principal timeline...it can... but only if U go to the principal timeline and do a 'control Z')
2- I have also seen weird things, When I select 2 points of a rectangular shape.. and then I deplace this points by 20 pix (doing 2 times "shift + arrow" with the scene at 100%)... Well sometines Flash move my points by 20 pixels and, with an other shape, it will move the points by 5 pixels...
It's quite difficult to explain... Maybe my flash has some bugs ! But anyway, maybe someone knows how to fix that !
Thank's in advance

Strange Behaviour In Flash
Hi
I have come accross something strange in Flash.
I have to different movie clips on their seperate layers on my stage, one is my logo and the other one is an animated text. now when I test my movie my logo disappeares for some reason, but if delete the animated text, logo become visible!! so I think for some reason flash put the text on the same level as my logo therefore logo gets deleted! that's my guess anyway but I might be wrong so please let me know if you know how to fix this.

Strange Problem Only In IE / Flash 9
I have a problem in my AS3 page that only appears in IE 6/7 and not any other browsers (Firefox, Safari so far):
http://fassettweddings.com/introt/
Press Start and the images load and then the slideshow starts (Start button there for remote debugging only). In IE you should see problems on the left side. Sometimes an image flashes but mostly it blanks out on the left side for no reason.
Source: http://fassettweddings.com/introt/intro.fla
If you run the generated html (http://fassettweddings.com/introt/index.html) the first left image fades fine but then the blank outs happen.
I'm new to Flash but a long time C++ and PHP developer.
Thanks for any tips or workarounds.

Extremely Strange Flash Bug
Hey everybody,
I've encounter a really odd bug in my current project. Whenever I alter a single character in my action script, my movie clips start to execute the code in onClipEvent(load) during every frame! Further, onClipEvent(enterFrame) never seems to be called.
Note that my current save works fine (onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterFrame) are both called when expected), but any change at all to the actionscript, including a change to a comment, will result in the unexpected behavior described above. This is why I believe I've encountered a bug.
Unfortunately, I'm kind of stymied when it comes to working around it. Has anyone else ever encountered anything like this?
I'm using Flash MX version 6.0.
Thanks!

Strange Quality In Flash CS3
Hi everybody,
I bought a new computer and I don't know what this is,
but when I aply filters to MovieClips or if I use Gradients the quality sucks.
The colors are not really gradient but they move from step to step.
In photoshop I don't have this problem so it can't be my computer I think.
When I make a 60px gradient from black to dark grey it is done in 12 steps 5px each..
Anybody else had this problem?

Strange Flash Behaviour
I'll explain the system first then the behaviour.
Intel 2.4Ghz running Mandrake Linux 9.1, using Mozilla 1.3 and latest Macromedia flash player v6 for Linux.
All the flash I have tested on this system works well, nice and fast.
However we have put together two simple Flash animations ( using MX ) that run really slow on these system configurations ( tested on 2 other similar setup machines ) The same flash works fine under IE and Mozilla using Windows. So basically these particular flash files ( and only these files ) are running slow.
Oh, BTW when I open just the swf into the browser it does the same thing, so I don't think its something in the object / embed tag.
I guess what I am asking is;
Has anyone seen this before?
What settings should I check for when I export the flash files?
What speed ( framerate ) is best for the average machine out there?
Thanks for any help..

WTF? Strange Flash Problem..well For Me Anyway
WTF!! Strange Flash problem..well for me anyway
hi.. thanks for your time. any help will be greatly appreciated.
i have this flash monster that i am creating for a client. i know its ugly and i know it has too much bitmap goin on, etc. but that is not my issue.
ok i have built this with an index flash that loads movies into it. (ala the kirupa "fullsite" tutorial) ok so it works local in flash player. but doesnt work in explorer. if i embed it in HTML it doesnt work in explorer.
THEN i upload the files. and linkin directly to the flash index file works in explorer but only hte remote file. if i embed it in HTML it decides to not work. this is all the same files just so im totally lost. why does it sometimes work?
here are links to see what the deal is:
the flash embedded in HMTL (doesnt work local or remote)
http://www.btreemedia.com/academygroup/flash_index.htm
the link directly to the flash file (works locally in flash player, doesnt work local in explorer, DOES WORK remore in explorer)

Strange Flash Lag Problem
I have built a small image gallery and everything works great. I have images that automatically change, much like a slideshow. However, after leaving my browser open all night to the flash slideshow, this morning I noticed that it was lagging . . . a lot. It would barely even change to the next image. However, once I did a refresh - it worked fine. So I let it sit and I watched it and after about 30 min it started to lag again. I doubt if anyone will sit there and watch the same 4 images for 30 minutes, but I'm just wondering if there is something I can do to fix this.
The problem was mainly with IE on the PC, but I noticed a slow down on the mac in Firefox and Safari as well after a period of time. I'm calling the images through in XML too (I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it). The other thing I made sure of, was that I had bitmap caching turned off for the emptyMC calling in the images from the XML. One other thing that I can only think of, is that I followed the advice in the forums for solving caching problems within Flash by using the:
Code:
myIdentifier=Math.round(Math.random()*10000);
thisLoader.loadMovie(data[num].path + "?uniq=" + myIdentifier);
If someone could help me fix this lag probelm, I'd very much appreciate it.
Thanx!

Strange Problem Flash 8
I've got more than strange problem...
I've got a simple XML gallery
Here you've got a script:
ActionScript Code:
var thumb_spacing = 36;var thumb_space = 26;// load variables object to handle loading of textvar description_lv = new LoadVars();description_lv.onData = function(raw_text){ description_txt4.html = true; description_txt4.htmlText = raw_text;}function GeneratePortfolio(portfolio_xml){ var portfolioPictures = portfolio_xml.firstChild.childNodes; for (var i = 0; i < portfolioPictures.length; i++){ var currentPicture = portfolioPictures[i]; var currentThumb_mc = menu_mc4.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_mc"+i,i); currentThumb_mc._y = Math.ceil((i-4)/5) * thumb_space; currentThumb_mc._x = i%5 * thumb_spacing; currentThumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb_container",0); currentThumb_mc.thumb_container.loadMovie(currentPicture.attributes.thumb); currentThumb_mc.title = currentPicture.attributes.title; currentThumb_mc.image = currentPicture.attributes.image; currentThumb_mc.description = currentPicture.attributes.description; currentThumb_mc.onRollOver = currentThumb_mc.onDragOver = function(){ info_txt4.text = this.title; } currentThumb_mc.onRollOut = currentThumb_mc.onDragOut = function(){ info_txt4.text = ""; } currentThumb_mc.onRelease = function(){ image_mc4._alpha = 0; image_mc4.loadMovie(this.image); description_lv.load(this.description); } }}// xml object for xml content (defines sources for selections)var portfolio_xml = new XML();portfolio_xml.ignoreWhite = true;portfolio_xml.onLoad = function(success){ if (success) GeneratePortfolio(this); else trace("Error loading XML file"); // no success? trace error (wont be seen on web)}// loadportfolio_xml.load("projects.xml"); ///////////////////////////////////this.onEnterFrame = function () { filesize = image_mc4.getBytesTotal(); loaded = image_mc4.getBytesLoaded(); preloader._visible = true; if (loaded != filesize) { preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize; } else { preloader._visible = false; if (image_mc4._alpha< 100) { image_mc4._alpha += 10; } }};
And off-line - everything looks fine after compilation, but on-line nothing is visible,
That's the standard structure of XML:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<portfolio>
<picture title = "xxx"
thumb = "portfolio_images/thumbs/xxx.gif"
description = "portfolio_text/xxx.txt"
image = "portfolio_images/xxx.jpg" />
</portfolio>
Is anybody here who could help me?

Strange Flash + Php Problem
i've been having a hard time getting flash to read the output of a php script. the php seems to output name/value pairs ok when accessed in the browser but flash is getting the variables as 'undefined' when i try to trace them.
just to test my setup i followed the simple example here - http://www.heaveninteractive.com/web...th-php-part-1/ - but it still gives undefined.
if i trace evt.target.data i get
Code:
%3C%3Fphp%0A%0A%24returnVars%20=%20array%28%29%3B%0A%24returnVars%5B%27username%27%5D%20%3D%20%22John%20Doe%22%3B%0A%24returnVars%5B%27email%27%5D%20%3D%20%22johndoe%40hotmail%2Ecom%22%3B%0A%24returnString%20%3D%20http%5Fbuild%5Fquery%28%24returnVars%29%3B%0A%0A%2F%2Fsend%20variables%20back%20to%20Flash%0Aecho%20%24returnString%3B%0A%0A%3F%3E
email is undefined
so i can see the values in there, i think it might have something to do with the whitespace % symbols confusing flash.
as you can tell im not the most experienced as3 bod. any ideas my fellow scripters?

Strange Flash Zooming Or Me Going Mad
Hi!
This little odd to explain, but i've always thought that when you zoom out to anything below 100% zoom, everything in the stage and work area is positioned in the centre, with rulers going from -0+(If that makes sense?). It may just me being mad, but mine always zooms out shoving everything to the top corner, making it near impossible for me to change anything thats minus in the x and y (in the editor, nothing to do with code). Did i accidently press a keyboard shortcut to make this happen, or has it always and i am just loosing my marbles?
Anyhoo any help would be awesome!

Very Strange Flash Issue
I've created a newsticker script that gets data from an external xml file and then scrolls each letter of each headline across the length of the flash movie as if it was typing, complete with a flashing cursor at the end. It goes through each headline in the feed before repeating again.
It works fine, in terms of what I want, and it's a very simple script. Now my problem: Once left in a browser on the site, the flash movie slowly eats CPU, initially around 0-1% (normal), but after 5 orso hours it's using like 25-30%+.
This is clearly not normal, so there is some kind of leak somewhere. I've spent several hours debugging with no joy. The code may be a bit messy and some of it may seems overly complex - but this is the result of my debugging. I began thinking it could be some kind of internal flash issue, due to the recursive calls, but then it should handle this fine. I've tried it in flash 7 and 8 with the same result.
If someone could identify the source of the problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I've attached the .as file

Strange Thing In Flash...is There A Solution?
Hello,
try this: draw a rectangle with an outline stroke hight (or tickness) diferent from 1. For example: 5.
Now a MC from the outline and another MC from the background.
Change the alpha of the outline MC to 40%.
Can u notice that the background doesn't go to the limit of the outline but it goes to the middle of the outline which is not 1px tick.
So, in flash, when u set outlines to be transparent and more then 1px thick, it shows a part of the background.
This is driving me crazy cause if the rectangle has round corners it's allmost impossible to solve the problem!!!
...or do u have a solution?
If there is no solutions, Macromedia should look at it.
Thanks,
Miguel

Is this font not sutible to work with FLASH? what can I do to correct this.
I attached the fla file so you can see it.

Strange Animation Problem In Flash MX
Hello
I recently began using Flash MX, and ran into a strange problem while trying to animate text.
I want the text to fade in, so I've done a frame by frame adjustment of the Alpha to achieve this.
The resulting animation plays fine during the development stage (i.e. the text fades in just fine), but when I publish the Flash-movie, all I see is the text...no fading effect!
Why is this? Any guidance would be most welcome.

Help: Strange Behaviour Of Flash When Published
I have a problem with my new site. I have finished the work, I have tested my site entirely on our local server, everything worked.
Yesterday evening I loaded everything up to the Internet server. When I looked these morning if my site was working properly, I saw he wasn't at all. He did not work, or hardly. The problem continues to exist, even after a whole day working intensively on the problem, I can find no solution.
I firstly thought that it would be a matter of Java script; which I use in my html file. That is incorrect.
(www.studieburomouton.be/index0.html) or without popup:
(www.studieburomouton.be/studieburomouton.html)
the long range of small pics under the item portfolio is not working as it ment to be.
It has to work as follows: this movie gets the number of pictures he has to load by means of a txt file, with this number he starts with duplicating itself as much times the txt file told him to do. Each
pic corresponds then with a project. But, that
duplicatieMovieClip do not work when the site is examined
online.
Can someone help me? I don't have the spirit anymore!!!!
thanks

Strange Image DISORTION On FLASH
Ok, take a look at this. I'm doing a preloader combining flash & photoshop. The preloader should look like this: http://www.iespana.es/eliteteam/preloader.jpg
Well, I've used at the top a transparent gif and down of it the preloader bar that should be in movement.
I've made a quick animation of it... but I have the same errors when I try to combine flash and photoshop, the "distorted images" that flash causes me...
Take a quick look to the animation and see in the midle of it that the lines seem not to match but when u zoom it they match perfectly . >>> http://www.iespana.es/eliteteam/preload_problem.html
I've tried to use PNG, JPG, GIF, AVI... everything, but the error persists
Plz, help me to understand why I always have the same problem with it.
Here is the .fla : http://www.iespana.es/eliteteam/preload_problem.fla

Strange Issue With Stroke In Flash
I adjusted my images in photoshop with a 1 pt. stroke and they look fine as jpegs. When I import them into Flash they still look good untill the file is exported. Then the stroke from one site disappears and makes the overall look strange. What could be causing it? Thanks, Kinga

Strange Border Around Flash Movies
Hey
I am having the strangest problem, when my client looks at his flash website he has to click on a flash movie once before being able to interact with buttons, rollovers, ect...
So when you rollover the swf a grey border displays on the screen and then you have to click on the box/border for it to disappear and be able to interact with the flash movie.
Now whats really hard about troubleshooting this problem is that i don't have or see the problem on my machine...he...he . What i do know is that this problem started when i exported the flash movie from Flash 8 application. In my publish settings i am expoted the flash movies in the Flash 6 player, so could this be a glitch with the newer version of flash?
Has anyone ran into this problem before, know what is causing it?
Thanks in advance
Ben

Strange Colours - Flash Buttons
Hello!!
I'm making a site - http://somethingtolistento.com and it's going ok, but wherever I have a button (in my case a vector shape with an alpha of zero) I get a box appearing on the screen a slightly diffeent shade to the background, for seemingly no reason...
This only happens when I set my colours to 16Bit not 32Bit (or thousands, not millions on my mac)
I've uploaded an example here - http://somethingtolistento.com/example.jpg and attached the pic
for those of you who don't see the problem on the site.
Is this a known fault in flash? Or am I doing something wrong, obviously I would like my site to look nice on as many computers as possible, any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank-you you're all awesome.
Luke.

Flash Is Strange, Answer My Questions?
Yes I know I can learn Flash at kirupa, I have learnt how to do motion tweens, and the others such as Actionscrpt have no meaning to me at all.
I know I have to start at the basics but I would love to make a layout in Flash, and where can I learn other things, what is there to learn? I have never worked with Flash before, I dont understand it at all. We've all been there.
Also what is actionscript, how does it work?
